Police have said that the dogs are now being properly looked after. Cheshire Police posted on Facebook: "We're taking good care of them and they've been fed and given warm blankets. They will be taken to kennels."

People have expressed anger on social media at the condition of the Greyhounds.

One posted: "Their faces are covered in wounds and scars-they look like they’ve had a dreadful life so far!! Surely they deserve a good loving home now."

Another said: "No dog should be subject to looking like that. They must be so scared."
